Day Two
Dateline: Denver, CO
In the wee hours of day two I pulled into a rest area west of Omaha, NE. Facing west, my entire field of vision was filled with a majestic thunderstorm. I slept there for about five and a half hours before hitting the road. I stopped at two other Nebraskan rest areas to take naps throughout the morning.
I eased my way across Nebraska and into Colorado. I stopped at the "Welcome to Colorful Colorado" sign again, six months after doing so for the first time. I've determined that the Colorado state board of tourism is flat out lying about the colorful part … unless colorful means a dull mix of green and grey. It's beautiful, breathtakingly so, but to say it's colorful is misleading at best.
Catching up with my 'ole buddy Lucas has been very good. We went to the Scum of the Earth, a church in downtown Denver. Afterward we proceeded to a local pub to philosophize and quench our thirst. It's been a good first stop.
Keep up the daily blog! I love it!

yo dude. i got your package today. hecka pictures man. thanks! aw, it’s cool to look at stuff. it’s still weird for me.
so today, after a (pretty boring) day of work, i settled in by listening to some poda poda music. oh – eee – yaaay! i kinda miss sticking my head out the window.
if you get tired, just turn it up and imagine that you’re in a poda poda with me and micah coming from pastor zizer’s house into town. tell the apprentice that we want circular road, not peee – zed. whA! bless you.
